RAKASA

thanks for the advice everyone... i'll make an infopass appt and see what the deelio is.

Ok, just for clarification, the Biometrics Appt letter does indeed state both case numbers and in the "code" box it says 3 (like jenn3539 says). Should we make an infopass appt?

Me

there is another way to tell besides looking at the bio letter. Did they take 10 fingers, only 1, or both?

10 = AOS

1 = EAD

both = welll... both!

they took all ten fingers (each hand separately), then each individual finger separately. He's in the shower now, so I'm waiting for him to finish to get the letter.

Is the two biometrics a new thing? My husband only had one biometrics appointment. AOS approved in May of this year. Is it different for K3's? Reason I ask is my husband came on a K1.

My husband came on K1 also...

You can check the biometrics appointment letter to see if it was for EAD, AOS, or both. Code 3 means that the EAD and AOS biometrics were taken at the same time.

going to dig up the biometrics letter now...

stranger things have happened... so, yes, keep checking the email . I have heard of approval notices sent on weekends. Wish ours was in the inbox tomorrow!

Since the EAD was approved, the prior biometrics was for the EAD. It sounds like me that they are waiting for the notice for your AOS biometrics to be mailed to you and once that appointment is completed, they will continue processing the AOS. I wouldn't be surprised if you get that biometrics appointment within the next few days or so.

You mean they have separate biometrics done for AOS & EAD? Seems redundant to me... why wouldn't they use the same one? I had not heard of this before... I mean, people getting 2 separate biometrics appts. We filed everything at the same time. Thanks for your input... I still think it's weird.

I sent an email inquiry about our case about 2 weeks ago. Just got this reply today... What do you make of this?

Mr. S needs to complete the biometrics requirements. An appointment notice will be mailed when the ASC in his area has appointments available. Once the biometrics data captured, his I-485 will be processed. Thank you.

Subject: Case # MSCXXXXXXX

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to inquire about the status of our I485 (case # MSCXXXXXXX). We received our NOA1 on Feb 8, 2007. It has been almost 5 months since we filed and 3 months since our case was transferred to CSC.

Here's our timeline so far:

NOA1 Feb. 8, 2007

Biometrics Mar 8, 2007

EAD approved April 17, 2007

AP approved April 19, 2007

Is there any time frame we can be looking at for approval of the I485? Can we look for approval soon?

Thank you for your time.

Mr. & Mrs. S

Add us to this group... last touch 4/26! filed 1/29. At least we have EAD so he's working. I'm ready to have a little break from USCIS!

Hi everyone... I never really followed this thread, well, cuz I wasn't in the "family way" - but now I am!!!! Woo hoo... we are 5 weeks pregnant today. Still early, but there ya go. I've joined the club and we couldn't be more excited. Hubby's got a nice new job too (just in time!).

Gabi, looks like we're due around the same time.

the way I was reading the consulate site is IF your marriage was witnessed by two muslims then its already valid in Morocco but if not then you will want to get it validated by the consulate

marriage validation

I htink you are reading that correctly. Now I am confused LOL Anyway I have my marriage certificate with offical government stamps. I am still thining that it might be necessary to go to a court in Morocco- Where is Bosco when we need her??????

Retired

The would depend on whether or not Morocco allows dual citizenship or not... You either have it or you don't. Contact the Moroccan Embassy to find out more infomation.

For registration of your child check here http://www.moroccanconsulate.com/childreg.cfm

For your marriage to be valid for Moroccan purposes, it had to be declared to the consulate within three months

thanks for the info! I'll follow these links and see where they take me.

Me

that sounds rather bizarre to me.... I hope that you get confirmation b/4 you actually don't go to the appt. Best of luck and congrats if the approval is indeed done! Sounds promising, if not strange.

I'm a little confused about this issue. I was just about to post a similar topic when I found this one. My husband is Moroccan, I am USC and we currently reside in the US. We have just found out we are pregnant and I was wondering if the child would have dual citizenship? Is it something we "apply" for after birth? Does it happen naturally?

Also, after reading the FAQ listed here and the "Dual Citizenship" portion of the USCIS website, I'm still not clear on whether my husband *can* become a dual citizen if he decides to naturalize. I understand that the US allows it, but I'm not sure of where to find the info if Morocco allows it.

That being said, if there comes a time we decide to live in Morocco (retirement or something), can I become a dual citizen of the US/Morocco?

Any help out there??? Sorry if this is already out there, but I'm just not finding it/getting it. Thanks for any help you all can provide.

Me

and thought it might interest you to know that I had recieved NO touches for months... nothing, nothing, nothing... and then the e-mail to say the green card was ordered.

Maggie

Congrats! and thanks for sharing this other tidbit of info! Safe travels to you...

Me

How terrible you've been waiting so long! As Silke said, I hope your GC comes soon after you submit the police records. Best of luck to you...

Me

take me off that darn waiting list! card production ordered today!!!

good luck everyone!

fabulous news.... keep that good mojo rolling!

Just a note for the keeper of "THE" list... I've changed my screenname from "Who?" to "ME~n~HIM". Whenever you update, if you could change it, I'd appreciate it.

ME

Just sent one too...I hope I will hear something as well..and hopefully good news

fingers crossed for EVERYONE that is waiting

I sent one last week, no response... I'll try again now. Maybe they've got some ants in their pants now! Congrats on all the approvals this week!

Me

Thanks everyone It's surreal! All the waiting through the namecheck and the medical, I'm just glad we didn't make it to the 1yr mark! Almost but not quite

Congrats! that's awesome news...

Thank you for filing in your time line, It seems as though you are kidding. But you really have no room to complain yet. Your not "outside" of processing times yet

I know I'm not "outside" of the times yet, but just getting a tad bit anxious! So many get approved so quickly, yet so many wait for such long periods! At least this time I'm waiting w/ him here, not there.

Can I stomp my feet & complain a bit too, then??? I need some action on this case please!

Ok, congrats Carrie & Arazia!

Who?

You can stomp all you like, but if you fill in your timeline then we can commiserate with you and encourage your stomping! How long have you been waiting?

Mo

Ok... done... sorry, I forgot to do it sooner. It's in my signature & my timeline. Thanks!

I won't have to fast for Ramadan this year!!! We're pregnant!

Mo,

Feel free to complain, stamp your feet, or do whatever. I and others have found that something usually happens right after you do!

Hoping you get your approval very soon!!!

Can I stomp my feet & complain a bit too, then??? I need some action on this case please!

Ok, congrats Carrie & Arazia!

Who?

transferred March 30... still waiting. Good luck!

thanks! he does have EAD - I'll have to check the expire date and do it that way. Thanks so much for your input.
